Spicy - There are quite a few threads on this subject but the search came up with nothing, so I have the best link I could find below. Jerry Meola is the expert on worm tea and he has been conducting little experiments with it. It seems to have insecticidal properties as well as being a safe and effective fertilizer. It helped me save a phal with NO roots, soft leaves, surely gone, but i put it in Orchid ICU (plastic dome with moss) to keep it damp and used nothing but worm tea on it for two months. (watering and misting) I now have 4 new roots, 2 new leaves and it is back in soil doing great. A lesson here for me was that I had no problem with fungus or mold growing in the OICU, which can be a problem with sprag and bag, so it probably has fungicidal properties as well. We all love it and I really haven't heard any bad side effects from it yet.
Worm Tea - further testing -accerated growth rate
Jerry if you see this?? I think a sticky on worm tea would be very helpful for all the newbies who visit the forum. The subject invariably comes up and it would be great to have a go to place to explain it. (like Cynthia's skewer method)
